I’ve been watching a lot of videos on you tube about people going to hell or heaven. Watched one where a guys claims he met God and God asked him if he had any questions. I was wondering what the heck I would ask if I met Yahweh and could not think of any thing worth asking. If you met God what would you ask him? What would be a relevant question in your mind? What mystery of human existence or arcane knowledge would you want to know about? ---

My first questions would be, "Why don’t you already know what I want answers to? Who are you _really?"_ ---

In theory, I’d like to ask Him…what it was all about. And why things have to be so hard and silent. But I suspect I’d get a non-answer like Job got. But in reality, I’m pretty sure that meeting God would instantly make all questions melt away, irrelevant. It would be like standing in front of a colossal volcano or tsunami. You wouldn’t really be in a question-asking mood. Either that, or all questions suddenly become pointless. ---

I would ask if there is a way (s)he can explain Riemann’s Hypothesis and its solution in a way I can really and deeply understand. I hope the answer is not negative. I hope even more there is no Godott. Actually, I believe I _know_ that. Makes the first answer moot, I reckon, but [I do not want to spoil the party](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqVDvLDLsjI) so I’ll go. ---
